Muslim Times(Web Desk) – Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has described the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as delusional after he attacked the movement in his recent address to the UN General Assembly.

“Let’s leave Netanyahu with his lies and delusions, to speak about what he wants and incite in the way he sees fit,” Mohammad Fneish, a Hezbollah member and Lebanon’s caretaker youth and sports minister, was quoted by Lebanon’s the Daily Star newspaper as saying.

The Israeli premier alleged during an address to the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday that the movement was using “hidden missile sites” near Rafik Hariri International Airport in the Lebanese capital Beirut.

Lebanese President Michel Aoun asserted that Israel’s latest “threats” would not work to cause an escalation with Tel Aviv.

Lebanon and Israel are technically at war due to the latter’s occupation of the country’s Shebaa Farms since 1967.

Hezbollah was founded in the 1980s following the Israeli invasion and occupation of southern Lebanon.

Since its establishment, the movement has helped the army defend Lebanon both in the face of foreign aggression, including wholesale Israeli wars in 2000 and 2006, and against terrorism. The Israeli regime suffered a humiliating defeat during the second war.
